Strengths, Weaknesses & Personal Goals


Identifying areas of strengths & limitations, evaluate future areas of development in your professional nursing career.

In my journey on becoming a nurse, I have come to realize my strengths and weaknesses. I believe I have a strength to keep going no matter what circumstances come my way. I am able to separate my personal life from my professional life. I have lost my mother a few months ago and was able to see the strength in myself I did not know I had. I have strength in understanding other perspectives through communication, critical thinking and evaluation in any situation, conduct appropriate assessments and intervene, administer medications, apply organized care, and complete care in a timely manner.

I believe a few weaknesses I have are lack of confidence, the need to please everyone, writing papers and time management. I believe that I don't see my personal strengths many days and don't see what many see in myself. Also, I have a need to please everyone and help everyone. It is great to help others, but when not properly balanced, it leads to a weakness. I put too much effort in helping, that I forget what I need to function or complete my task. Learning to say no is something I have to work on. I have difficulties writing papers. I have problems relaying my thoughts into a properly formatted paper. I have to learn how to be able to properly schedule everything going on my life and in my personal life.

After evaluating my strength and weaknesses, I have developed four goal.
The first goal is to take and pass the NCLEX exam by end of Januray. My second goal is to obtain a RN position at LVHN in the ICU by the first week of February. My third goal is to increase my confidence by gaining more experience working as a RN in the ICU for two years. My four goal is to continue to conduct research and write papers on the research conducted to enhance my writing skills by the first week of February.
